For things they can do. Black's can use Heat Metal, Incendiary Cloud, and can cause areas of the ground to become molten.

Blues can use Ice Storm, Wall of Ice, and a special Dispel magic that causes targets to take damage for each magic effect ended on them. Creatures hit by their cold breath also can't use Spells or the Magic action.

Bronze Dragons can use Slow and Time Stop, a powerful guiding bolt, and can cause time to accelerate for a creature to give them a level of exhaustion.

As much as I prefer WoW dragons when it comes to lore, the Forgotten Realms dragons really do run rings around them when it comes to visual appearance and artwork.

That is why I pre-ordered the book. However, where did you see confirmation that is Mythic rules. I just heard some vague - boss monster rules.

CR 23: Bronze Dragonflight Dragon, Ragnaros

TOO LOW! YOU HAVE STATED ME TOO LOW, WIZARDS OF THE COAST!"
(excuse the big orange text. Ragnaros requires color)

He's apparently way harder to deal with than the Bronze Dragon. From one of the previews he seems to have his full Raid mechanics. Namely a big one is that he can, a limited number of times, submerge into the Lava to heal himself. While the preview did not elaborate too much on the mechanics of it, just that he only emerges when he is either fully healed or if the players do some form counter play that causes him to come up early. In the Raid when he does the submerge he summons a bunch of Fire Elementals at the same time, so the counterplay is likely defeating the summoned the Elementals before he heals too much.

Some of the recent previews state that lots of monsters get Mythic rules, sometimes with Mythic traits that can trigger more than once. It also covers a wide level range, one of the previewers said the lowest Mythic Monster is CR 4.

What is Mythic? The WoW equivalent of Legendary?

Nopex it's a D&D thing, James Wyatt introduced Mythic Monster stat blocks in Mythic Odesseys of Theros and has used it a few times since: basically a method fo getting a Boss Monster by having multioeo stat blocks that the Monster transforms into after losing all HP.
